Except if that person bought it from Rick 
directly, it's a stolen cel (based on what Rick 
say...).

Sure, everybody bought them legitimately : I 
bought mine legitimately from Mandarake.
Sure, at events many people sell VHD cels right in 
front of Rick : He need those people to buy cels 
from them (as all other dealers) so he is not 
going to tell them or their customers anything.

Oh, I wonder what would have happened if Rick had 
been at the Mandarake when I bought mine cel :)
